Auld Lang Syne. Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Jan Van der Roost. Performance Series. Festive and Solemn Music. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 1997. De Haske Publications #DHP 0970796-010. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-0970796-010). This traditional melody is known worldwide as a song of farewell. Jan Van der Roost treated it as an anthem in this splendid arrangement. The melody is brought to us in whole or in part by various instruments and is surrounded by logical yet original - sometimes surprising - chords that dare to fluctuate. After a broad tutti, the ensemble begins to die out. The piece ends with an impressive diminuendo of the final chord, almost as if the orchestra itself were saying goodbye.
